About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for another dose of frantic action with the Anne-Claire Forthwith expansion for Bullet! This time, Penny Arcade's mechanically-inclined niece enters the fray, ready to fuse patterns and create tools that will save you in the tightest situations. Anne-Claire doesn't come alone; she brings the Kewpitrix Engine, a giant automaton that will force you to think and play two patterns simultaneously. Mess up, and you're done!

This expansion adds Anne-Claire as a new playable heroine, who can be incorporated into any title in the Bullet series. With her unique powers, she brings a new layer of strategy and challenges for those who already enjoy the adrenaline rush of real-time and pattern-building games. The push-your-luck mechanic remains, encouraging you to go to the limit to achieve victory, but be careful not to overdo it and lose everything. Collaboration among players is essential, as you'll need to coordinate your actions and powers to overcome the challenges posed by the game and by Anne-Claire herself as a boss. It's a great addition for those seeking more variety and challenges within the Bullet universe, maintaining the fast-paced and intense experience the series already offers. Perfect for playing with a group or testing your skills in solo mode.

The expansion maintains the series' flexibility, playable by 1 to 4 players. You can play solo or with the whole crew!
Is Anne-Claire just a new heroine, or can she also be a boss?
She can be played as a heroine with unique powers, but she also appears as a challenging boss that forces players to deal with two patterns simultaneously.

Does this expansion add a lot of new components?
It adds the Anne-Claire character (as heroine and boss) and components related to her specific mechanics, focusing on enhancing the experience without overwhelming.
Is this a good expansion for someone new to the Bullet series?
It might be a bit more challenging for absolute beginners, especially when she acts as the boss. It might be better to start with the base game to get the hang of the core mechanics first.
